Barrington Visit part 2-Berry Picking

So while I had my family in town, I decided to use them as slave labor and make them go berry picking.  We got a bunch of blueberries and some raspberries because blueberries are tons easier to pick.  Even though my parents and siblings don't eat as much fruit as me and my kids we still managed to finish off the berries with very little going bad.  And Brian made some delicious blueberry syrup, which is soooo yummy.

Anyway so back to the process.  We picked berries, obviously.
Nathan and two jobs, and Minna was the enforcer.  He was to carry Minna and pick berries for her consumption.  He started out trying to do them both at the same time, but I convinced him that Minna could walk, so she had to be satisfied with walking and eating. 

She was eating them as fast as he could pick them.  One time someone asked Nathan how many berries he had in his container, and he said, "One."  Then Minna grabbed that one out too.  Joshua ate some, but was more focused on being the first team (with Emily) to fill his basket.
After we got berries we went and played on the playground and checked out the goats.
